362: Chapter 362 Slaying a Ninth-Level Dao Integration Realm cultivator

In the July Domain, the Nangong Family.

Nangong Sanyang, the head of the Family, looked at the middle-aged man standing before him with killing intent.

News that Nangong Yun had been stripped of her position as Saintess had already reached the Nangong Family, casting a pall of gloom over everyone.

Over the years, the Nangong Family had expanded significantly by leveraging Nangong Yun's status as Saintess. Moreover, the Saintess was eligible to inherit the position of Holy Lord.

Even if Nangong Yun could not inherit the position of Holy Lord, at the very least, she would become a Grand Elder.

With her protection, the Nangong Family might one day replace the top Sects in the Tianya Domain and become a top-tier Family itself.

Unfortunately, after Nangong Yun was stripped of her position as Saintess, the Nangong Family lost its future.

And the Nangong Family would inevitably face difficulties from various factions in the days to come.

Nangong Sanyang gritted his teeth and said, "That guy named Chen Hu ruined our Nangong Family's grand plans. If it weren't for him, Yun'er would not have lost her position as Saintess. Therefore, he must die!"

Having said that, he took out a long spear. "This is a Medium Grade Dao Artifact. I am lending it to you temporarily. Take it and kill that scoundrel!"

"Yes!" The middle-aged man received the long spear with both hands, a flash of intense heat appearing in his eyes.

This Medium Grade Dao Artifact was considered one of the Nangong Family's ancestral treasures. With it, his strength would increase by several folds.

"Please rest assured, Family Head. I will definitely tear that scoundrel Chen Hu into ten thousand pieces!"

"Good. Go quickly and return quickly. Make it clean and swift!" Nangong Sanyang instructed.

"Please rest assured, Family Head. By tomorrow, I will surely bring back Chen Hu's head!" the middle-aged man said with great confidence.

His cultivation had already reached the Dao Integration 9th Layer. With the Medium Grade Dao Artifact, he feared no one except those from the Holy Land who had reached Dao Integration.

"Go!" Nangong Sanyang waved his hand. The next moment, the middle-aged man turned into a streak of black light and headed straight for the July Domain.

Time flew by, and soon it was night. Chen Hu had already placed everyone inside the Liuyun Immortal Mansion into his Small World.

Last night's intelligence card had revealed a piece of information, stating that the Nangong Family would send a Dao Integration 9th Layer expert to assassinate him. Furthermore, it had even provided the specific time.

According to the intelligence card, there was still half an hour left before the opponent would arrive at Xuanwu City.

Although he had absolute certainty of victory, fighting in Xuanwu City would surely cause collateral damage to innocents. Therefore, he decided to go outside the city to wait for the opponent's arrival.

However, for the safety of his Family, he had put them all into his Small World. Otherwise, if someone raided his lair and snatched away his wives, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.

Using the Star Escape Technique, Chen Hu quietly left the Liuyun Immortal Mansion. By the time he reappeared, he was already 20,000 miles away from Xuanwu City.

Time slowly passed. Standing atop a mountain peak, Chen Hu suddenly looked in one direction. A powerful aura was heading in his direction.

In the blink of an eye, the opponent was less than 500 miles away from the mountain peak where he stood. The next moment, Chen Hu shot into the sky and stood in mid-air.

A streak of black light rapidly approached, transforming into a man in black robes. "It's you!"

Seeing Chen Hu, a flash of surprise crossed the eyes of the man in black robes. He had come to assassinate Chen Hu, but he hadn't expected the target to appear on his own initiative.

For a moment, many thoughts raced through his mind. He subconsciously scanned his surroundings with his Divine Sense, and only after finding no ambush did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Chen Hu, how did you know I would come?" "Guess?" Chen Hu replied with a playful smile.

"Since you don't want to say, then go to hell!" A black spear appeared in the hand of the middle-aged man in black robes, and then it transformed into an extreme spear light that shot straight towards Chen Hu.

"Pfft!" Chen Hu vanished from his original spot, and the spear light pierced through empty air, yet it tore the Void Realm apart.

At that very moment, Chen Hu appeared behind the middle-aged man and slashed down with the supreme-grade Dao sword in his hand.

"Pfft!" An arm fell off; it was Chen Hu who had severed the right arm of the middle-aged man in black robes with a single sword strike.

"How is this possible!" The middle-aged man summoned his spear back and dashed away quickly. At his wound, granulation tissue was squirming, seemingly trying to grow a new arm.

But at this moment, the Sword Qi remaining in the wound flared, obliterating the granulation tissue.

What terrified the middle-aged man even more was that his Divine Sense could not find Chen Hu's location.

"I'm right here!" A playful voice rang out. Then, the middle-aged man felt a pain in his left shoulder, and another arm was severed.

"Too weak!" Chen Hu appeared several thousand feet away, watching the middle-aged man wildly attack his surroundings while controlling the spear, and shook his head inwardly.

He hadn't even used his Divine Ability of Time Stasis, yet he had easily severed both of the opponent's arms.

"Enough, let's end this quickly. Time Stasis!"

"Hum!" An invisible Divine Power spread out. Immediately, the Void Realm within a radius of 100,000 miles fell into a state of stasis.

Swish. Chen Hu took a step forward, arrived in front of the middle-aged man, and slashed out with his long sword.

In an instant, the opponent's body and Primordial Spirit were annihilated by him.

He reached out and grabbed. A Storage Ring and a black spear appeared in his hand.

"Release!" The stagnant Void Realm returned to normal, and Chen Hu disappeared from the spot without a sound.

Not long after he left, a woman wrapped in black robes appeared here.

Sensing the residual aura in the Void Realm, her expression changed drastically. Because the aura she sensed was actually that of a Dao Integration 9th Layer expert.

Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed, capturing a wisp of flesh and blood and Primordial Spirit aura belonging to a Dao Integration 9th Layer expert.

"A Dao Integration 9th Layer expert has fallen. Who did this?"

A Dao Integration 9th Layer expert could be considered the strongest master willing to appear in the world. It was extremely difficult to kill one. But now, such a powerhouse had fallen.

Suddenly, the figure of Chen Hu flashed through her mind: "Could it be him?"

For a moment, her mouth went dry. Previously, Chen Hu had Heaven-Defyingly killed a Dao Integration 6th Layer expert and a Dao Integration 7th Layer expert; she had believed that was Chen Hu's limit.

But now, the opponent had killed a Dao Integration 9th Layer expert as well. Just how Heaven-Defying was this guy's strength?

She then remembered that she had personally followed him yesterday. Since the opponent could kill a Dao Integration 9th Layer expert, could he have already discovered her?

Thinking of this, her scalp began to tingle.

"Should I go back to Xuanwu City?" If Chen Hu mistook her for an enemy and slaughtered her, she would become a huge victim.

"Or perhaps, I should go and apologize to him?" A thought occurred to her.

After a slight hesitation, she decided not to return to Xuanwu City for now and would visit Chen Hu tomorrow instead. However, she had to report the situation here to the Commander.

On the other side, Chen Hu had already returned to the Liuyun Immortal Mansion. He released Ruyi and Zhizhi to brew him a cup of tea.

He, meanwhile, playfully toyed with the Medium Grade Dao Artifact spear.

This spear had two imprints. One should have been left by that middle-aged man; however, with his death, the imprint he left was already dissipating on its own.

The other imprint was left by someone else, and it was quite stable. Therefore, the middle-aged man was not the true owner of this spear.

With a thought, Chen Hu injected his mana to strike at that solid imprint.

He frowned slightly. Based on his probing, breaking through that layer of imprint was not difficult, but it would take three to five days.

Therefore, he once again used Time Stasis. "Pfft!" The imprint that had fallen into stasis was easily breached by Chen Hu.

Then, he resolved the dissipating imprint of the middle-aged man, and this Medium Grade Dao Artifact spear became an ownerless object.
